£150 Cashback Card credit

The UW Cashback Card is one of the easiest ways to shrink your bills. Top it up. Use it when you shop. Earn up to 10% cashback. That cashback comes straight off your UW bill.

Even better? Get up to £150 pre-loaded when you join.

And our top Cashback Card holders save an average of £461 a year on their UW bills. Not bad for everyday spending.

Find a UW Partner

Cashback: you can earn unlimited cashback at the relevant % from our retail partners each month. Purchases from other retailers are eligible for cashback of 1% on spend, subject to cashback caps which vary depending on the number of services you have taken out. You are only eligible to receive the 1% cashback at other retailers if you are not engaged in debt collection proceedings with UW – and have at least one of the following services live at the time of billing: Mobile, Broadband (Broadband and/or Home Phone) or Energy. See our Cashback Card terms and conditions here.

Cashback Card Trial: Get three months free cashback on everyday spending at major retailers. £3 per month after trial – no contract, cancel any time. See terms and conditions here.

Cashback Card Credit: New UW homeowner and tenant customers only. Welcome Bonus (£50-£150) based on Bundle Services taken at sign-up (excludes Home Insurance). Direct debit required. 12-month clawback applies if Bundle Services cancelled. Energy or Broadband required for £100/£150 Bundle Service bonus. For full terms click here.

Cashback Savings: Calculated using the average cashback earned between 01-01-2024 to 29-12-2024 (52 weeks) by the top 10% of active account holders (customers who used their card at least once a week during this period). This figure excludes customers who won 100% cashback through the Cashback Magic promotion.

The UW cashback card is issued by PSI-Pay Ltd pursuant to a license by Mastercard International Incorporated. PSI-Pay Ltd is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the electronic Money Regulations 2011 (FCA register number 900011) for the issuing of electronic money. Mastercard is a registered trademark, and the circles design is a trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated.

Our cashback card provider PSI-Pay Ltd is an authorised e-money institution. E-money is not subject to Finance Services Compensation Scheme protection in the way bank deposits are, but it is subject to “safeguarding” requirements. In the unlikely event of insolvency, this means there will be a pool of funds from which cashback card customers would be repaid (subject to certain deductions for associated insolvency costs).

Multi Service Savings Estimate: We’ve compared our most popular services with the average price of our main competitors’ equivalent services. By ‘main competitors’ we mean at least three of the largest suppliers by market share who sell a comparable product. The saving shown is based on the average of these competitors’ pricing when compared with an equivalent new UW customer who takes three services – energy (Double Gold variable), broadband (Full Fibre 150), mobile (Unlimited) and pays by direct debit.

Energy: Save on average £48 per year on your energy bills when you take a variable energy service plus two other eligible bundle services vs standard variable tariffs offered by major suppliers (large and medium suppliers as defined by Ofgem), for sale nationally, excl. existing customer tariffs. Based on Ofgem’s typical domestic usage. Payment by Direct Debit. Correct as of 17/04/26. Contact us to verify.

Broadband: Switching to UW Full Fibre broadband after your initial contract with current supplier has ended could save you £44 a year. This calculation is based on the average UW saving of our Full Fibre 150 tariff vs BT, EE, Plusnet, Sky, Talk Talk, Virgin and Vodafone’s closest equivalent tariff (£134.45) over three years. Correct as of 17/04/26.

Mobile: Save £182 with Unlimited Max compared against the closest equivalent 30 day rolling unlimited data tariffs across EE, GiffGaff, O2, Three and Vodafone over a 12 month period. Price correct as of 16/04/2026. Excludes offers and promotional tariffs.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re the UK’s only genuine multiservice provider. We help people save on their household bills by bundling their energy, broadband, mobile and insurance into one. We offer guaranteed savings. We’re trusted by over 1,386,585 customers, rated Excellent on Trustpilot and are Which? Recommended.

UW Partners in and around are people just like you, who earn an extra income by introducing others to UW and helping them sign up as customers. They also help people to become a UW Partner and start earning an income by recommending UW to their friends and family.

Yes, of course – over 1,386,585 customers and 70,000 UW Partners already do. We’re also regulated by the energy regulator Ofgem, the telecoms regulator Ofcom, and the Financial Conduct Authority. We’ve been doing business for nearly three decades and are listed on the London Stock Exchange, which means we’re one of the UK’s largest publicly-owned companies.

You can earn up to £300 in upfront commission for every customer you help sign up to UW in and beyond. But your total earnings will depend on the effort you’re prepared to make – the more time you put in and the more people you introduce to UW, the more you’ll earn.

As well as upfront commission, you can also get paid a residual income, which is an incremental percentage of your customers’ bills for as long as they stay with UW. And if you choose to build your own team of Partners in and around , you’ll earn residual income from the customers that they sign up too.

Over time, this could mean you go from earning some extra cash working from home in to a serious additional income that can support major lifestyle choices.

It’s up to you – there are no targets, time limits or set hours. So you can fit being a UW Partner around your life and schedule, and do as much – or as little – as you want. What’s more, you’ll also get all the training you need and be part of an active and supportive community, so you don’t need any previous sales experience to join.

Good news – anyone can become a Partner. The only thing you need to join UW is a can-do spirit. And if you’re sitting there thinking, ‘but I know nothing about utilities!’ Fear not. Ensuring that every new starter feels fully supported and confident is a big priority for us. That’s why when you join we’ll give you everything you need to get up and running.

If you’re someone who enjoys chatting and helping people, then being a Partner will be right up your street. And if you know quite a few different groups of people in and around (friends, family, colleagues, sports clubs, societies) then you’re also already onto a winner.

Consider yourself a bit more of an introvert? Don’t you worry, there are loads of Partners who have made UW a success despite not being chatterboxes. Plus, the intro training covers all the different ways you can make UW work for you, whatever your skill set.
